How long did it take for you to get used to Vim?

Get used to it? A few months.

Use it well? 20+ years, and counting.

My mentor literally SCREAMED at me when pair programming because I couldn't get the hang of yanking words quickly enough. This was after maybe 2 weeks of learning vi, and only a few months after learning *nix.
